three years ago when people voted for president obama, very often i heard they voted for him because they hated george bush. when people go into a voting booth to vote, it should not be an anger. it should be because they are informed, intelligent, and have clear heads. many of them are going with newt gingrich because they want him to seek and take on president obama in a debate. the person who will be in the white house is going to be with us for four years. i think rick santorum is the man that can help this country get back to where it needs to be. >> next up, donna is an maryland in the washington, d.c. area. go ahead. >> i am thrilled for the win for speaker gingrich in south carolina. i am so thankful that the republican party has dodged a bullet by selecting a good government can do it. he has oodles of experience in making policy that will work for everyone. democrats, republicans, and independence. he looks and speaks the common good. that was the contract for america. that was all the years of teaching and work he has done on behalf of these bigger issues. mitt romney is n
